Risk factors for postoperative haemorrhage after total thyroidectomy: clinical results based on 2,678 patients.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to analyse postoperative haemorrhage (POH) after a total thyroidectomy and explore the possible risk factors. Records of patients receiving a total thyroidectomy were reviewed and analysed for risk factors of POH. From the 2,678 patients in this study, a total of 39 patients had POH, representing an incidence of 1.5%. The majority (59.0%) of POH events occurred within four hours after surgery. Arterial haemorrhage was the primary cause of POH and was identifiable prior to venous bleeding, making it the first sign of POH. A univariate analysis revealed an association between POH, certain disease factors and BMI, but only a BMI greater than 30 was found to significantly increase the risk of POH (almost 6-fold). At the first sign of POH, all patients showed an obvious red drainage, and 92.3% of the patients had neck swelling. In summary, arterial bleeding is the main cause and first sign of postoperative haemorrhage, as it starts earlier than venous bleeding. A BMI greater than 30 significantly increases the risk of neck haematoma.
